Top DHS officials Wolf and Cuccinelli are not legally eligible to serve in their current roles, GAO

Utter nonsense, Glitch.

READ the GAO report, for Pete's sake. Why don't you people ever READ before you open your mouths (or type)? Geez...

From PAGE 1 (for Pete's sake!) of the GAO Report:

Upon Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen’s resignation on April 10, 2019, the official who
assumed the title of Acting Secretary had not been designated in the order of
succession to serve upon the Secretary’s resignation. Because the incorrect official
assumed the title of Acting Secretary at that time, subsequent amendments to the
order of succession made by that official were invalid and officials who assumed
their positions under such amendments, including Chad Wolf and Kenneth
Cuccinelli, were named by reference to an invalid order of succession.


Neither Wolf,, nor Cuccinelli were appropriately installed at DHS at the time then-Secretary (Nielson) resigned her position. Therefore, neither was officially in the line of succession (as required by statute). Therefore both of their appointments were not valid.

Sorry, facts win. You lose, again.

Next time....READ, before opining.

Where does Article II, Section 2, Clause 3 of the US Constitution state that appointments must be made at the time the position is vacated? Nor do any statutes override the authority of the US Constitution. Don't look now, but your leftist indoctrination is showing - yet again. Both appointments are constitutionally valid, and will remain in position until: 1) The end of the Session on January 3, 2021; or 2) the Senate gets around to actually confirming them.
 
Sure there will be.... and EVERY act they have implemented while serving will be reversed.... You see, federal court isn't fantasy court...

The federal courts are certainly real, it is you who are fantasizing, as usual. Leftists certainly do have issues with reality, that much is very obvious.

Did a federal judge in March order the suspension of the asylum changes Cuccinelli implemented?

If they had you would have posted it, therefore I can logically conclude that it never happened and you are on one of your leftist fantasy trips - yet again.
 

The illegal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998 again. What part of the US Constitution supersedes statute law are you not able to grasp? Congress does not determine who fills vacancies, or when they should be filled. That is entirely a power granted to the President by Article II, Section 2, Clause 3 of the US Constitution, not Congress. Which makes any law enacted by Congress that determines presidential appointments, how they should be made, when they should be made, and who should fill the position, illegal.
 
But the CONSTITUTION! :2razz:

Don't worry, there's good news'; once the orange emperor has cheated, er I mean "won" the election, he can just make new laws more to his divine orange will. There will be nice "re-education camps" for people like us too! Neato huh? :roll:

LMAO... I don’t know if you have noticed but the judiciary is ignoring your interpretation of the law.
